What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep leading pediatric neurology and sleep/epilepsy care within an academic clinical setting, while continuing advocacy and education work through AASM and AAN-style policy, mentorship, and program development.

I’m a pediatric neurologist and consultant across major children’s hospitals, including Chief/Associate Section of Pediatric Neurology and Medical Director Sleep Medicine and Electrophysiology (Epilepsy) Programs at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, academically affiliated with Drexel University College of Medicine. Before that, I led Pediatric Neurology and Medical Director roles at Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital and Lehigh Valley Health Network, building and improving sleep medicine services across multiple affiliated sites.

I’ve also held part-time clinical coverage with Nationwide Children’s Hospital and consulted for Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. Alongside clinical work, I’ve served in leadership roles with the AASM and AAN, including advocacy and policy work for sleep and neurology, and I’m published across journal articles, book chapters, abstracts, editorials, posters, and scientific presentations.
